Fakery: Coming to a neighborhood near you
Neighborhood near me, more precisely.
This lady figured that fake police reports were all the rage among the elite, so she decided to get in on the game. Using firecrackers and red food dye, she faked killing her husband. Neighbors called 911 after hearing the firecrackers; when police arrived, she ran out and met them, shouting "I've killed the old man!"
Unfortunately, she was too drunk and too dumb to perceive the vast gulf between herself and someone like Jennifer Wilbanks ... If you want to make it onto the national news, you can't be too thin or too rich, as the old saying [almost] goes. Wilbanks has issues and must be loved and forgiven. This lady has excess avoirdupois and will only be derided and forgotten.
Seriously, we need to punish fakers, and we need to show the punishment as well as the glamour; aristocratic crimes always get imitated in lesser neighborhoods, where both perp and victim are less able to recover.
